- DRF.

I guess it's not 100% he's not going, but Spawr seems like he doesn't want to wheel him back in four weeks after that big effort.
ateam, this was in today's Bloodstock Journal:

"BORDONARO (Memo [Chi]), winner of last Saturday's Ancient Title Breeders' Cup S. (G1), could be supplemented to the November 4 Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) at Churchill Downs, trainer Bill Spawr reports. "We're 50-50," Spawr said. "We'll decide by the 23rd (of October). He came out of the race as good as or better than any race, and that's hard to believe because he ran seven and change (1:07 4/5 for six furlongs). I thought he might bounce, but he didn't. He would have to be supplemented, and I think it's $130,000, plus about $50,000 to enter and such, is what I'm told. He's not the best shipper, so we would have to make sure he's comfortable.".."
